My husband has been asking me all week what I want for Mother's Day. I guess he wants me to make it easy for him and either say, "Oh, whatever you get me is fine" or "Baby, I don't want anything. Your love is enough."
Well, that ain't gone happen. I want the best you got to give. It doesn't have to cost anything or be this big extravagant event. If all he has is time to give, then I'll take it. Truth be told, after sleeping in (which is out of the question because we are in church every Sunday), I don't really know what I want.
But, I do know what I don't want:
If the meal prepared leaves my kitchen a mess, no thanks.
If the gift received makes me ashamed of myself the next day (i.e- a box of candy that I devour before midnight)- no thanks.
If I have to wear a bra, high heels and Spanks for an extended length of time- no thanks.
If I have to entertain other people- no thanks.
If I have to be entertained by other people and sit in awkward silence- no thanks.
If I will be designated the "kid watcher" while everyone else gets to relax and have fun- no thanks.
Of course I'm being silly, I will except any of the above (maybe) and the standard card, flowers and candy is fine, but sometimes mothers want something with a little more thought into it. Something that lets us know that our family is really paying attention to us. I will cherish every home made card that my kids give me because I know that it came from the purest place of love.
As a mother, I now know the importance of simply wanting to feel like I am appreciated, that my words don't fall on deaf ears and that every sacrifice I've made for my family has all been worth it.
Of course there are some that say mother's should be celebrated everyday and not just on Mother's Day, which is true. But, if you are not one of those people, get it together and get that mother figure in your life something special.
